(Q)Help Cellcom Hero Brick? - Hero CDMA Android Development

Help Please....I have a cellcom (CDMA) branded hero rooted, amon recovery s-off. I flashed a sprint radio and now my phones hangs on boot screen. I am able to get back into recovery. I flashed every cdma hero radio i can find. I tried to flash the sprint and cellular south update via pc(usb) but it hangs up about half way thru. I cannot find any cellcom radios or updates to return to stock. Any ideas????

do you have a nanadroid back up?
I have cellcom to, but why would you flash a sprint radio lol?

yeah i made a nandroid backup but i get an error when i try to restore. i flashed a sprint radio because i was trying to do an esn repair but that's a diiferent subject.

You need to flash an official update from your carrier to get the radio back. Good thing is your is not bricked. If it was, it would not cut on at all. Just flash the update from your carrier and re-root. Keep your nandroid so you can restore it later and save time. If you need help finding an update let me know. You should find one from the htc site. That is where I get cellular south updates.

Here you go: Cellcom Hero
Click the December 15 button and follow the instructions. Hope you get it fixed. You'll have to root your phone again once you are back into stock 2.1.

Thanks for the link. I was searching all over for a cellcom update. I flashed the update and everything is fixed. Thank you everyone for your ideas.

Glad it worked out for you.

If I may chime in on this, the radio (as long as it's for cdma if you have a cdma hero or gsm for gsm heros) itself is generic. Be it from cellular south, sprint, or any other carrier's ruu it should work fine as long as it's for your correct radio in the phone (i.e. cdma or gsm). Sure it wasn't just a bad flash and you got lucky?

(Radio) All radio.img and update.zips Update-2!READ

BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHEN FLASHING OR MODIFYING THE RADIO.IMG AS THIS IS THE EASIEST WAY TO BRICK YOUR PHONE
All of the update.zips work 100% of the time. There has been no report of brick and i have used all of them at least once. if you dont like a new radio flash the old one. Good luck!
the stock radio.img is from the 1.56 RUU for the SPRINT CDMA HERO
There are three Radios here. stock, 2.41.04.02.03, and 2.42.00.03.10. they are in order from release date. high number=newer. radios are risky so i suggest sticking with one. they almost never cause worse performance. if you TRULY feel your signal has degraded i put the stock in here for you to return to.
Update!2 ok so with the new release of 2.42.01.04.27 i was kinda on the ehhh bar with it. i never like new releases because they will always take something from you.
so in this case they have taken the ability to use data with a .27 kernel. so if you flash this radio, you will not get data with any rom that has .27. including the fresh toast 1.1 and all 1.5's. so its up to you. i didnt gain one thing from this radio. battery life and signal stay 100% the same. i did lose data though.
so personally i would stick with 2.42.00.03.10

Just to be sure ... I am only asking this as a precaution as I do not want to brick my phone. These are for the SPRINT CDMA HERO correct? And when you say STOCK you mean the Radio that was originally installed on the SPRINT CDMA HERO like "out of box" so to speak?... Again I'm asking to clear up assumptions. a.k.a. (Click happy readers)
Is this for 1.5 as well or is this to be used only on fresh 2.0b

I updated the radio to 2.41.04.02.02 earlier today and saw my download speeds decrease by about 50%. So I finally tried to flash back the Stock radio posted here. The good news it didn't brick my phone but it also didn't work. My phone still shows version 2.41.04.02.02. When I did the flash of the Stock radio file I never saw any error message and I didn't see the message about extracting radio file. Any ideas? Thanks

ok i think i know what caused this. although it says its still 2.blahblah its rlly the stock. the manifest isnt right so i guess it didnt apply. ill have a fix up but for right now your set with the stock radio.
It was the Stock img because is was the last one in the list to select. Are you using the instructions from geekforme to do the flash. That is what I was following.

yes you did it right. it should have worked although it still shows the old baseband. you now have the old radio. its not updating that for some reason i will fix once i find out why
Can anyone else confirm decreased data speeds?
I'll do a quick little test in the mean time...

Are you saying that my phone is now using the stock radio ver 1? If you are, I don't think it is because my download speeds are still way slower then before I did the ver 2 update.

Uk O2 1.50.206x

Hey Guys
Can someone please point me in right direction to download
RUU for UK network O2, build 1.50.206x ?
Just got my sensation back from repair and have rooted again. Ive also backed up the orginal ROM on my phone but would really like the RUU to go with it should I wish to go S-ON incase of any future problems.
Thanks guys

Thanks for getting back to me bud.
Isn't there really?.... even tho I've backed up that particular version of my phone?
I got it back today and that was the build number.
Can I still restore the backup in that case and go S-ON normally?
If you backed it up before adding root then yes you will be able to restore it, flash the stock recovery and S-ON to go back to stock
The only o2 RUU to leak was the original one that was out when the Sensation was first released. Good to know o2 have updated to 1.50 though

Hey, yep, I got s-off then installed clockwork then backed it up right away. I didn't root, I just flashed your Stock rooted XE ROM and all is good. the 1.73.401.4
So let me get this right.
I fullwipe, restore backup then flash the stock 1.18.000 recovery it had and thats it? I guess I must extract recovery img from the a 1.50xx ruu?
Radio?
@ ajay
I am getting shabby signal on my sensation ( ~45%MAX) on o2 uk.
I have tried a few radios with no luck so im hoping you can tell me, when your sensation came back with the o2 uk stock rom on it, which radio version was loaded onto it?
Was it the version in your signature?
Cheers

Hello mate.
The radio in my signature is what I'm using now, although my phone returned to me with the radio from 1.45.xxx build.
Look in android development section for radios & you should see it. Hope this helps =)

ok thanks for that. I know about the radio thread and have tried 10.14, 10.15 & 11.16 and always have ****ty signal so just thought id see which radio o2 use for their roms.
How do you find the signal with the radio your using?
I never get full signal now in places where my desire would give me full signal.
Im starting to wonder if maybe the back cover with the antenna's in is a bit ****ty cos i get the wifi death grip quite severe.
Thanks again

You can get the HBOOT from any 1.45 RUU, but yes what you said pretty much sums it up. I would:
1. Restore backup
2. Flash stock recovery
3. Hard reset
4. Reset CID (if changed)
5. S-ON
6. Boot phone to make sure it works then hard reset again
Thanks EddyOS =)
Appreciate the advice bud.... Always handy to know how to cover your arse incase of the worst.
@beady_uk. Are you flashing the appropriate 'rils' to match the radios?
Can't really think of anything else bud. My radio & ril match & since I've done it this way I've always had good reception.

[Q] [Help] Skyrocket go down!

hi everyone. I need some help here with my At&t Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket. I had my phone unlocked and work on T-mobile GSM fine but I only got EDGE for data. I then flash it with with a T-mobile radio according to the instruction here at XDA forrum to try to get 3G/4G. after flashing the radio the baseband in the phone showed "unknown" and I lost both GSM and EDGE. the phone even didn't recognize my SIM card,I don't know If I did something wrong.
Here How I did
1. I flash CWM 5.8.x
2 I update to CWM 14.x.x touch version
3. Root the phone with SuperSU busy box
4. Flashing tmo_SGH-T989_VK1.zip radio
5. No signal.
It seem to be the radio I tried to flash didn't go in correctly. BTW I still keep the stock ROM form At&T (ICS 4.0.4)
Any one have experienced the same problem like me ?
Thank you very much for helping me out.
Just so I'm clear, you flashed a T-Mobile Only Radio on an A T&T Sim card? Check your APN too.

I finally understand the problem the phone simply doesn't accept the radio. I flashed the new radio and turn out the original radio was removed and new one didn't go in. when i flashed a full stock ROM the original radio came back. may be the ROM and radio have to be compiled together.

Uh no you have to flash the modem before the ROM to get a good flash from what I've seen. Also I think almost every radio exempting maybe gingerbread radios as I haven't tested them should work on every ROM exempting maybe tw based.

The Rom or radio can be flashed in any sequence. The order they are flashed in has no effect.

Verizon M8 3G only FIX

There are very few posts found on any site about this issue so I wanted to post a success.
Symptom: M8 that either from a ROM install or OTA is 'stuck' on 3G. This persists across radio revisions and OS.
In my case, I had a M8 with S-off arrive from Swappa but it was 3g only on 4.4.4 so I took the OTA... No change. Following, I tried 3 different SIM and opened a support case with Verizon. As with the other 2 cases I found reference to in a search, the determination was a fault with the phone and it would be factory replaced under warranty. BUT this phone is S-OFF!... so I kept digging. After trying various RUU from 4.4.3, 4.4.4. and 5.01 NONE of them worked, still trapped in 3G land even with factory reset wiped cache and clean install of 4.4.4 with the Verizon OTA update to 5.01 full path.
Solution: Roll farther back! I found a very early RUU from 4.4.2 and flashed the baseband. Immediately 4g worked. Rolling forward, every firmware version I flashed after (any baseband) also worked. SO if you have a M8 that does only 3G just roll all the way back to release baseband and then back forward to 5.01.. should fix! Verizon also indicated they know of this phone sometimes not 'taking' a SIM so try a 2nd one too.
Regards and good luck,

Thanks for this share. I am having an issue that may or may not be related. I have a feeling that my sim card reader is broken but my phone was actually having a similar symptoms before its radio stopped working altogether. I came back from international roaming today (and a non vzw sim) and when I arrived stateside, my phone would only pick up CDMA evdo 3g. After much fiddling in the *#*#4636#*#* menu, I did not have any luck. Then all of the sudden my phone read "no service" and wouldn't even connect to vzw at all. I tried a new sim from a vzw store, no dice. My plan was to ruu tomorrow as a last resort. I am s-off. Would you mind sharing the 4.2.2 ruu link? I'd like to try.

Yes that could be a problem. If you were on a sense rom it would not be. Because it does not wipe. Those ruu are unique in that they don't. The s-off ones and every other carriers ruu do wipe.

Im going to attempt to reflash the latest verizon radios in Hboot and see if it clears the whatever band settings i changed that killed my radio? Perhaps this is the same as what a full RUU would be but radio only.
Edit: that didnt work. Still "no service"

Yeah. That's always been the old standby as it sets the nv golden config back.

So while that did reset my radio. My SIM card reader is also broken. My LTE comes in and out. Its my fault.
I have been sent a warranty replacement from VZW but its running the 5.0.1 firmware. I have come to learn that there is no way to RUU downgrade to a 4.4.4 firmware so I can run sunshine to S-Off.
Does this mean I am SOL installing TWRP and roms since im stuck S-ON? ive actually never been S-On on an HTC device before.

You can use a Java Card to S-OFF your M8 - check out the Verizon M9 Java Card thread.
(@dottat has one, he is my recommendation - but all are very trustworthy and if someone is closer it may be easier on you to go with them)
Been having this issue myself. Tried RUU, flashing all radios from 4.4.2 on up, factory reset, etc. I'm only getting 3G-- not LTE whatsoever. Any ideas?
Edit: Got a new SIM-- no cigar. Unless there are some network settings that I don't know about, the 4G antenna might just be broken or something

Thank you! This saved me from having to get a new M8 from Verizon (after the new SIM didn't work) and losing S-OFF.

It's not possible to lose s-off? Did you turn it on yourself?

I meant that I can keep my current M8 (still S-OFF) and have working LTE, instead of having to swap it with the new M8 that Verizon is sending to me (which I can now return).

Sorry for the confusion, and thanks again!
No dice. On any of these fixes. I've gone through all the RUUs that dottat has posted, full back to stock (with root /s-off). I'm at a complete loss. Does anyone have any other suggestions to try and get this fixed?
After I flashed on of the RUUs I have 4G for about 10 mins, then it bumps back down to 3G. I've checked this in three different cities (Home, Work, Friends) so its not the network in my area. I was thinking of stopping at Verizon, maybe get a new SIM, but I'm not sure if that would work.

HTC - No signal... Ever

Hi,
I can't seem to get any signal, can't call text or use data on my HTC desire 620. But it is finding the networks as when I search to select networks it can find O2 (I'm on giffgaff. And it claims to have registered on network. I've refreshed back to stock,but I don't know where to go from here.
Do I need to reflash the radio.img? If so how would I go about doing that? I've searched allover but can't find the file online.
Thanks

The easiest way to fix your issue is to factory reset it, if that doesn't work, then restore your phone entirely using the stock files, IF that isn't something you want to do then yes, flash the radio and flash the modem as well. It can't hurt.
In most cases just start back at square 1; going entirely back to stock. In so many cases that will fix your issue the fastest.

Thanks for the reply,
I've flashed the stock rom already, but that didn't seem to fix it.
But I read somewhere that flashing a stock rom doesn't actually flash the radio or modem, just the system, boot and recovery.
In which case do you know where I could find a download for the modern and radio?
Thanks

Well if you want to be certain you have your phone entirely back to stock...
Factory reset the phone.
Power it off, and reflash the stock files
Flash the modem and radio
Once it powers back up factory reset it again
Let me know what happens after that, I'll look into your particular HTC so I can help you fully this evening, Get back to me after you've done the above again, even if you've already done it already.

I've flashed and reset everything except the modem and radio, as I'm still searching for the files. Is there anyone with this device who could upload their's. It is the HTC desire 620, unlocked from H3G (Three).

Right I finally found the radios, modems etc on IR File, and have flashed them all, along with stock roms. Then have done factory resets, the lot. But I'm still having the same issue. Any suggestions.

Hmmm, that's odd.
What's your device model (country as well; us version? India? Etc) what's the latest firmware and boot loader you know you were on?
Have you flashed all of the latest updates for your phone? I ask because if you've updated and you're using a previous version to try to fix your phone, that will not work.
Let me know all the pertinent details about your device and firmware/bootloader so i can provide a bit of better assistance
Thanks
